Pepin WI Around the Web

Visitors Dance at Laura Days

Visitors Dance at Laura Days

I heard in the news last week that there was a genuine Chinook wind moving through the country – if you got an unusually nice weather the last week or so, it just might have been the Chinook. :) That means spring is coming and it’s time to make plans for gardens and for summer trips. So to help you with that this is the first post in a series about homesites and where you can find them on the web.

 

Pepin WI is located on Lake Pepin, a widening of the Mississippi River. It’s location means that people from the Twin Cities use it as a weekend getaway spot and for that reason it has an unusually nice selection of restaurants, bed and breakfasts, and artist shops.

Check out these resources to plan your trip:

  • Official Village Website
  • Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum in Pepin
  • Laura Days (every September)
    Laura Days Facebook
    Laura Days Twitter

UPDATE: The Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum in Pepin just launched its own Facebook page.

Pepin is one of the homesites that I visit the most. Find a round up of my posts about Pepin on my personal blog here. Some businesses that I enjoy visiting and mention in various blog posts are listed here, find more options on the Official Village Website under the appropriate tab (shopping, where to stay, etc.):

  • T&C Latane Blacksmith and Tinsmith
  • Harbor View Cafe
  • Garden Pub and Grille
  • Homemade Cafe
  • Pickle Factory
  • Sail Pepin (follow Pa’s wagon tracks across the lake when it isn’t frozen)

Mary Ingalls Society Unveils New Sign

Posted on by Sarah Uthoff

Although Laura fans have long been interested in the Iowa School for the Blind and Sight Saving School (ISBSSS) where Mary attended in Vinton, Iowa, for many years the interest was one-sided. It was an active school and there were concerns about bringing tourists in and how they would interact with students. Now that the school functions more as a support system for students mainstreamed in their local schools, that has changed. Vinton is now actively promoting itself as a stop for Mary Ingalls fans. For some years now they have had a small museum put together mostly by retired staff and alumni volunteers, with some help from current staff. Two years ago they founded the Mary Ingalls Society and this year they had their first public event. They are planning even more including a full blown Mary Ingalls pageant the first weekend in August.

One way they are reaching out to visitors is commissioning a new sign declaring the school at Mary Ingalls Site. This sign will be put up near the entrance and will be a perfect place for visitors to take a photo of themselves with the school in the background. Last month they got final approval and released the design for sign.

The society has gotten final approval from the school and an initial donation of $250 was made locally, but they are still looking for funds to cover the rest of the cost of the sign.  I look forward to getting my photo taken with it and I hope you will too.

Checks can be made payable to:

VCF/IBSSS Mary Ingalls Society
Box 326
Vinton IA 52349

Mary Ingalls Society Hosts First Event

Posted on by Sarah Uthoff

Locals braved icy conditions to turn out 40 strong at the very first and very successful event hosted by the ISBSSS Mary Ingalls Society on Jan. 10, 2014. The event was a combination celebration of Mary Ingalls’s birthday (coincidentally a birthday she shared with her father, Charles “Pa” Ingalls) and a kick-off of the build up to the first annual Mary Ingalls Pageant to be held in Vinton, Iowa this summer.

 

Nancy Beckman, Barb Beau, and Carolyn Hibbs

The Cast – Nancy Beckman, Barb Beau, and Carolyn Hibbs

 

Original Vignette Performed

The main focus of the evening was a vignette set at a reunion of the school. Nancy Beckman, Barb Beau, and Carolyn Hibbs played alumni gossiping about life at the school, and providing the audience with a peek at what it was like. The fictional vignette is set in 1919, which would have been Mary’s 30th year after graduation — the reunion attendees portrayed were Mary Ingalls, Blanche Howard (who is mentioned in the “Little House” books as Mary’s friend), and Eva Whitcomb, who graduated with Mary. This vignette was designed to give attendees a preview of what the pageant will hold, but was written specifically for the event as a stand-alone piece. The informal part of the evening included sharing blind school memories and looking at the recently established history wall of 19th century photos now situated in the hallway outside the auditorium.

Pageant Date Officially Announced

The planning committee of the Mary Ingalls Society has been very busy and was able to make some announcements. The pageant will be held Friday, August 1 and Saturday, August 2. A schedule has not yet been created, so watch for more information as the event gets closer.

Mary Ingalls Site Sign

The design for a new sign declaring the ISBSSS a Mary Ingalls Site was unveiled. I’m sure this beautiful sign will feature in many future Laura Ingalls Wilder trip photos as fans make the pilgrimage to Vinton. The first $250.00 towards the cost of the sign has been donated but the society would welcome any further donations.

Checks can be made payable to:

 

Approaching the Stage

You can designate that your donation is for the sign in the memo line. There is no final date yet on when the sign will be installed. Watch the Mary Ingalls Society’s Facebook page for the reveal of the design.

Mark Your Calendars

The successful event was a wonderful kick-off; stay tuned for more announcements and possible events as the pageant draws closer. If you’re in the Iowa area, be sure to save the first weekend in August so you can say you attended the first annual Mary Ingalls pageant. (Photos are courtesy of the Mary Ingalls Society.)

De Smet Fire Department Christmas

Posted on by Sarah Uthoff

There are lots of great stories in De Smet. This year I discovered a not directly Laura connected, but lovely story about how the volunteer fire department in De Smet helps Santa out each Christmas. Then again, while they know for sure it went back as far the 1940s, but they don’t have a start date, so maybe the volunteer fire department of the day delivered a Christmas bag to Ma’s house when she still lived there. I read about it in South Dakota Magazine.

Martelle Iowa Fire Department

Martelle Iowa Fire Department

 

Every Christmas morning in De Smet, the fire trucks pull out, sirens and lights going, to deliver Christmas bags to people around town. Each truck gets three or four volunteer firemen and they go through town. They leave at 9 am and are greeted with “cheers and hugs.” No one knows how long ago it started. Even 80 years old say they remember it as children. Randy Holland is the current department chief of the volunteer department who heads up the Christmas tradition.

“De Smet’s sweet Christmas.” South Dakota Magazine 29.4 (Nov./Dec. 2013): 17. MasterFILE Premier. Web. 16 Nov. 2013.

After reading the article, I followed up by calling the Hazel L. Meyer Library in De Smet. The library doesn’t have anything to do with the fire department, but one problem with a volunteer department is that they can be a little hard to contact. However, Library Assistant Librarian Linda Reynhout has been a recipient of the Christmas bags and kindly answered a few questions for me. There is no official age limit. “Kids are kids, even if they are in college.” They drop off a bag with candy and fruit.

I’ve talked to a couple of local volunteer fire departments around Iowa and apparently there is a tradition for them to play Santa Claus. The Martelle, Iowa Department in the photo is the one my brother volunteers with and they have a Christmas party with Santa Claus and similar Christmas bags are given out each year to the town’s kids at the party in Mid-December. Many other departments have a Santa Claus night in the lead up to Christmas with a visit from the man himself. The main difference is in De Smet it’s actually on Christmas Day itself and they deliver to the houses rather than having everyone come down to the fire station. Have you heard of another department that drives around on Christmas? If you ever are so lucky to spend a Christmas in De Smet, maybe you can get a Christmas goodie bag yourself.

Keeping In Touch

Posted on by Laura Welser

I’m embarrassed to say that I never finished sending out my Christmas cards this year. So, if you usually receive a card from us, well, I offer my most humble apologies and my promise to do better next year. After all, Christmas cards are one of my favorite ways of hearing from friends and family that I may rarely (or ever) get to see.

An old childhood friend Trudy would be an excellent example. We were next door neighbors until I was fifteen and my family moved (to the country so I could get a horse!). I have some of the best memories of playing with neighborhood friends. Unfortunately, I failed to keep in contact with any of them and have found only a couple in the past few years. Trudy is one of them.

Life has been busy for the two of us and we pretty much only stay in contact through our yearly Christmas cards. And I do really look forward to them. Now, Trudy is more on the ball than I am so I usually receive her card before I’ve even sent mine out and am able to reply to what she wrote to me. The downside of only communicating once a year is that we often forget what we wrote about, or why, the year before. I saved last year’s card as I had been meaning to write about it for the past several months.

Trudy wrote (in response to what I had written the year before which was in response to what she had written the year before that :) ):

I think your card last year asked me a question about Laura Ingalls Wilder?? I can’t remember, but a couple of years ago when you made that Christmas card… Reminded me of those books and you telling me to read them. I read them all. I recently read the first three books again.

Now I remember the original conversation was that Trudy had found my blog and that I had written about Laura Ingalls Wilder (I’m not sure if she found me through my own personal blog or through Beyond Little House) combined with the fact that I had sent out handmade Christmas cards that were Little House-related sparked some memories in Trudy.

I discovered the Little House books through my sixth grade elementary teacher. I can’t remember if Trudy and I were in the same sixth grade class, but I was happy to find out that I had urged her to read the Little House books and that she read and remembered them all these years later. Because, believe me, it has been many years.

Trudy, if you happen upon this…know that I appreciate your words and that I will always treasure my childhood memories with you, your little sister and our many neighborhood friends.

Annual Christmas Shopping Guide 2013

Posted on by Sarah Uthoff

Whether you are looking for the perfect present for the Laura Ingalls Wilder fan in your life or just what you want to know what to put on your Christmas want list, check out these suggestions.

This is the fourth year I’ve put together a shopping guide and I thought maybe this year would be the year to update the original post, but frankly re-reading it, I think it still holds up well for basic gift ideas. So read that first and instead in this post look for new items, other ideas and then a list of which Laura homesites are offering Christmas mail order and the cut off dates for shipping by Christmas this year. Beyond Little House encourages you to do at least a little Christmas shopping from the homesites because they are all local museums, highly dependent on admissions and gift shop revenue to stay open and preserve the homesites for Laura fans, so do your part.

Most of the presents that I suggested in 2011 and 2012 are still available so take a look at past year’s posts for more ideas.

 

Walnut Grove Museum Gift Store

 

The big present that Laura fans should either already own or have on their list is Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Walnut Grove by William T. Anderson. A new book from Bill is always big news and this one ties together all sorts of new information together about Walnut Grove in addition with classic photos that you won’t see anywhere else. It’s available at many of the homesites.

Another new item this year, which as far as I know is only available from the Walnut Grove giftshop, is book about Dr. Tann by Susan Thurlow. Although only a booklet it takes the limited information available about Dr. Tann and unlike A Doctor Fetched by the Family Dog by Eileen Miles Charbo, puts it in a narrative format including information from Thurlow’s research. It’s based on Thurlow’s presentation at LauraPalooza 2012. You can get  Dr. George Tann: Black Frontier Physician by Susan Thurlow for $5.35 through Walnut Grove.

I’ve added the Loftus Store to the list this year because while not technically a homesite, they were mentioned in the books, are a can’t miss stop for Laura fans in De Smet and they always have some unique Laura items. This year they report that they’ve brought back some nice pieces that haven’t been available for awhile. A linen wall hanging (an original from the 1980s, long has been on display at the Loftus Store and much asked about), the first in a series of pewter plates that were originally sold by the Laura Ingalls Wilder Memorial Society in the 1970s ($40 plus $10 shipping), and a brand new item, an accurate paper model pattern of Pa’s store. The Loftus Store is also one of my favorite places to shop for Laura T-shirts with the tie-dye girls fit top being the closest I’ve found to truly hot weather gear in any homesite town.

 

Replica Plate from Loftus Store

 

Spring Valley doesn’t have anything new to mention, but they are one of the glass ball ornaments (you can only get that site’s ornament through that site – e.g. you just can get Spring Valley’s ornament from the Spring Valley giftshop, you can only get the Pepin ornament in the Pepin gift shop, etc.) and they report they are still selling well.

Walnut Grove, which is another glass ball ornament site, has put out a page of Christmas specials. Walnut Grove reports their top sellers are:

  • Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Walnut Grove $13.95
  • Miss Beadle Tote Bag $37.50 on sale $32.50 Autographed and made by Miss Beadle herself Charlotte Stewart
  • Little House Set of Paper Back books $62.99 on sale $53.55

They also just got in the Laura-esque figurine from Wild West (See photo below). I got  one a few years ago at the Ingalls Homestead and I think it makes a nice display piece. It’s not on the store site yet, but one can be yours for $10. One of the most expensive pieces in my personal collection is the replica of Laura’s engagement ring that I recently posted about. Laura’s engagement ring is still getting a lot of reaction from people when I wear it if they haven’t heard of it before. I got asked where you could get one by two different people at my last presentation alone. You can still get yours for Christmas and be the one flashing the ring at the next Laura event you attend, but the sooner you order the better. Find it in Walnut Grove’s online store Souvenir section, click and then scroll down. And if you haven’t gotten some of the Jack’s Treats for the special Laura fan dog in your life, I hope you will now realize Christmas was be incomplete until you do.  (I would insert a photo of Blue eating said treats but he eats them so fast I’ve yet to get a photo where you can see more than a blur.) They also may or may not have a couple of plush Jacks heading towards my Christmas tree as we speak. They also have a variety of Laura related, Minnesota themed cookie cutters including a loon, a buffalo, a map of the United States, and a fish like the ones Pa trapped. They make the perfect present topper for your Laura themed gift.

Mansfield is says their best sellers are the DVD version of the documentary they made in conjunction with Ozark Public Television (not to be confused with the two Mansfield themed episodes of Ozark Watch also produced by Ozark Public Television) Laura Ingalls Wilder: Life of a Pioneer Girl and The Laura Ingalls Wilder Country Cookbook. On my order list from them for the new year (from now to Christmas is all about the presents so I have to wait) is a print of the painting done by W.H.D. Koerner that is in the Rocky Ridge living room ($12.95).  Not everything they have is listed in their online store so feel free to call them and ask.

The Almanzo Wilder Farm in Malone/Burke added they have new embroidered logo t-shirts in adult sizes. Who doesn’t need a new design of Laura shirt?

Prospective presents that I’ve mentioned before, see the links to past posts above, include the Legacy Documentaries documentaries Almanzo Wilder: Life Before Laura and the long awaited DVD release of The Legacy of Laura Ingalls Wilder, and the various products from Pa’s Fiddle. These are available at most homesite giftshops.

What do you give the Laura fan who has everything? Although there is always something more that a Laura fan wants for their collection, a real fur muff, a custom Ingalls Girls a la Sunbonnet Sue wall quilt, the kitchen canisters from Laura’s kitchen, Ma’s pen with the pearl handle shaped like a feather, etc., another answer is to help insure Laura’s legacy continues with a donation made in the name of your own special Laura fan. Right now special fundraising projects include:

  • Pepin wants to Pave the Way to the Future. Donate to get your or your loved one’s name on Pavers in front of the new frontdoor.
  • Independence is planning an online donation campaign over the winter, but no details yet. Update: Now, we have details.
  • Mansfield is working on their capitol campaign.They aren’t offering your name on anything, but you do get a nice Thank you letter.

And don’t forget you can also get your Laura fan gift memberships to the museums!

Little House Christmas

Posted on by Sarah Uthoff

It’s beginning to be a holiday tradition in some parts of the country, right beside productions of The Nutcracker, Christmas Carol, and White Christmas are productions of a least two separate versions A Little House Christmas and A Laura Ingalls Wilder Christmas. We’d like to put together a directory to where it’s going to be preforming around the country, so please take a minute to check with your local community and small professional theaters and chime in either as a comment, on Facebook or send an e-mail to [email protected] if they are doing a production this year.

In the meantime, check out these two videos loaded on YouTube from past years productions.
